Hello, a quick Saturday round-up for you – although it’s funny to think that by this time next week we’ll have played our first Premier League game of the new season. Anyway, that can wait. Arsene Wenger has been speaking about the Europa League, and what he might do with his squad for that. Perh...

Hello everyone, I’m a bit knackered today, yesterday was a pretty long day, but an interesting one. I was at Members Day, and I watched the training. A few things stood out for me. 1 – Jack Wilshere looks sharp. Maybe it’s because it was a relatively leisurely paced session, but he seemed to me ...

Another season is upon us and while the thirst for new recruits is as insatiable as ever, there are plenty of current players for whom 2017-18 represents something of a watershed.

START COMMUNICATION The Mighty Arsenal of London were yesterday crowned Supreme Champions Of Pre-Season with a glorious triumph in the not at all in any way rigged Emirates Cup at the Emirates Stadium yesterday. Although the impudent Spaniards of Sevilla won both their games of the tournament, th...
